Dissolve Shader

I am currently trying to conrol the dissolve speed on the shader through an activated script on the same object, but i cannot seem to alter the code so that it does not loop:

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Timed : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.   public float m_fDestruktionSpeed = 0.1f;
7.   public Material m_Mat;
8.   public float m_fTime;
9.  
10.    void Start () {
11.   m_Mat = renderer.material;
12.    }
13.  
14.    void Update () {
15.   m_fTime += Time.deltaTime * m_fDestruktionSpeed;
16.   if (m_fTime >= 1.5f)
17.   m_fTime = 0;
18.   m_Mat.SetFloat("_Amount", m_fTime);
19.    }
20. }

How can i alter this to make it just dissolve one time when i activate the component.

Thank you

 

Why don't you just use a bool variable?
You set a conditional for this bool to be true, when you are done you just set it to false and it wont run anymore.

 

Yea I just bought this, and that script came with it.

Unfortunately I don't code. I use Playmaker.

So how would a simple script that affects the _Amount on the shader over time look?

Thank you for your help.

 

change line 16 from
if (m_fTime >= 1.5f)
to
if (m_fTime < 1.5f)
and remove line 17

Should do the trick, hope this helps!

 

Yes that works thank you
